Distant Twilight

Distant
       Twilight
             Till all
                   Remains
             Have run
       Their course

And I
     Sit upon
           The sandy shore
                   Looking out
                        To that distant
                                Horizon of hope
                           Where might
                      Thou lead me
               What path must
          I walk
    To left     Or right
            I cannot
        Be Sure

So where to begin
       And where to go
             I cannot simply
                  Sit idly by

                         So faith
                             Carry me
                                  And give me
                                       Purpose
                                               Hope
                                                  For that
                                                      Inevitable truth

                                                Guide me
                                            Restore me
                                        To thy peace
                                       
                                            Fill me
                                                Grant me
                                                    Thy joy

                                               Yet
                                                  As
                                                      I

                                                          Wonder
                                                      May my
                                                  Thoughts

                                                      Rise to thee
                                                          I pray my
                                                             Doubts
                                                                Would not
                                                                     Plague me
                        
                                                                           But draw me
                                                                                Near to you
                                                                                     May my contentment
                                                                                             Be here with thee

                                                                                     For I cannot hope
                                                                                 To find my way
                                                  Alone

                                                       Thy truth
                                                           Hath shown
                                                               I am thy own

                                                                    And none can
                                                                         Take me from
                                                                       Thee

                                                                          So carry me
                                                                             Through the desert
                                                                                 And the tempest
                                                                                       
                                                                                      That here I may find
                                                                                          Peace and be still
                                                                                                Commit my plans
                                                                                                     To thee
                       
                                                                                               And persevere
                                                                                          Till thou shalt
                                                                                       Reveal thy

                                                                                           Way

                                                                                             And calm
                                                                                           My fears
                                                                                             And open
                                                                                                  My heart
                                                                                                   
                                                                                                      To
                                                                                                     You
